she convinced Bane into letting him leave.
Just then, she was reminded of the promise she made to Bane. He only let ric go because she
offered to stay. And now I’m gone before I even exined things to him. Bane would be waiting for
nothing, and she had no idea what he was going to talk about. She had a feeling he would say
goodbye, but that was just a hunch. Victoria asked, “How long have I been out?”
“Why do you want to know?”
“Just curious.”
“A day.”
She pursed her lips. I wonder what had happened when I was out.
She fell into silence. ric had no idea what was on her mind, but he knew she was not in the best of
moods. “What’s wrong?”
She looked at him and shook her head. “It’s nothing.” That was what she said, but then she fell right
back into her pensive thoughts.
The man asked, “So, do you remember how you lost
your
memories?”
The question confused Victoria, and it was then she realized that she hadn’t even wondered how she
had lost her memories after losing him. “I… am not sure, but when I woke up, my head felt like it was
injured.”
ric looked at her forehead, but there was no wound or scar, so he checked the back of her head.
“So, you hurt the back of your head?”
“I think so.”
He checked on it for a moment and fell silent. “You’re getting that checkup. I need to know you’re
fine.”
Right then, Victoria was reminded of something else. “Hey, I know you want me to get checked, but
what about you?”
“What about me?”
“If I’m right, the whole reason I went there was to make a deal with him. I stayed so you could leave.”
ric frowned, and he cursed himself for relenting back then. If it weren’t for that, he wouldn’t have
gotten himself hurt or knocked out. If he weren’t knocked out, she wouldn’t offer herself up so he could
leave.
He failed as a man; he failed to protect his lover and had her put herself in danger.
“Ethan told me you were deep in aa when you left. Badly hurt, too.” That was the meat of the
conversation “So, when did you wake up? Have you sustained any more wounds other than the one on
your chest?”
ric said nothing.
“ric?”
ric looked at her. “Not too long ago.”
“And you came straight to me?”
He didn’t want to tell her, but it was impossible to hide, so he confessed, “Yes.” When he woke up and
found out he was back in his home nation, he told Terrance to arrange a flight. And thanks to his
father’s help, he managed to save Victoria.
The confession made Victoria frown. Ethan wouldn’t lie to her. If ric had gone back to their home
nation and woken up there, then he must have been badly injured, or he wouldn’t have been knocked
out for so long. And he came back right after he woke up. No wonder his wound had torn open when
he took me away.
“Are you sure you’re alright?” she asked. “Did the doctor permit you to pull this stunt right after your
recovery?”
Delighted by her concern toward him, ric smiled. “Of course, I’d asked for his permission before
I came.”
Victoria stopped for a moment, looking speechless. “I have amnesia but am not dem ented.”
Dam mit, the man cursed in silence.
“You think you can lie to me? Is this a joke to you?”
ric got a little nervous. “Are you mad?”
Victoria turned her head away.
“I’m sorry. I just don’t want you to get worried. D-Did I let you
down?”
He sounded so nervous that it was as if he would kill himself if she didn’t forgive him. She couldn’t
possibly ignore him if he was in that state. Even though he neglected himself, he only did it to save her,
so she had no right to be angry at him. Slowly, she turned around. “You should know why I’m angry.”
“I know.” Delight flickered in ric’s eyes, and he huddled closer to her. He was going to hold her in his
embrace again like they were lovers.
Victoria’s heart ski pped a beat, but she didn’t refuse his gesture. She leaned against his chest and
relinquished all tension.
“I know you’re mad because you’re worried about me.”
His presence enveloped her the moment she got near, and she felt secure in his embrace. Her hand
slithered onto his shoulder and hung on his neck.
Something stirred within ric, and he looked down, leaning closer. Sounds of footsteps echoed from
the entrance, and Victoria stiffened up. She let the man go and pushed him away before going
back to bed.
ric rooted to his spot, still leaning over.
Terrance came in and looked confused by the scene. “What are you doing sitting like that, sir? Is Miss
Selwyn awake?”
Victoria coughed as if on cue, and she slowly raised her hand. “Calling for me?”
“Oh, you’re awake.” Terrance was delighted to see her awake. “And I was wondering when you’d wake
up. Are you feeling all right? The doctor said you should tell us if you’re feeling unwell. And then you’ll
be going for a checkup.”
“I’m fine.”
ric was still in the same position, and he looked at Terrance. “Tell the doctor her memories are
fumbled up. See if he has any treatment for it.”
Terrance’s delight vanished in that instant, and he stood, petrified. “What happened to her memories?”
He stared at ric in shock. The look on ric’s face told him what he needed to know, but he still
turned to Victoria for confirmation. “D-Do you remember who I am, Miss Selwyn?”
Much to his disbelief, thedy slowly shook her head.
Seeing that, Terrance cursed within his heart, What the hell, Bane! It hasn’t even been days, and Miss
Selwyn’s lost her memories?
